Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Apollo is a big, sweet 2-year-old standard dachshund, weighing at about 25 pounds! He is a sweet, friendly guy that loves meeting new people and dogs. Some of his favorite things include cuddling, giving kisses, sitting for treats, and playing with his doggie friends or his favorite toys! He is not quite potty trained yet, but we're working on it! He does not enjoy being in the kennel but does eventually relax in one. He knows a few commands, such as sit, wait, or stay. He does respond well when a stern No is given. He is great with dogs and new people but may not do well with cats. Though, he would thrive in most homes, his ideal home would include: -large,active family with/without children (older/considerate kids) -often home or works from home - large yard or could go on walks -friendly and playful dog friends -a family that will give him structure and patience -and lots of love to give! If you're interested or have any questions about Apollo Storm, please reach out! Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
